Rain Gloves?

[spklbuk]

What do you learned ladies & gents wear on your hands in the monsoon season?

A quick search over a paddler place yielded this: http://kayak.nrsweb.com/search/?p=Q&w=waterproof%20gloves

I have been using the Rider Warehouse lobster claws glove covers for a few years now. They do a very good job of keeping your hands dry. But the material they are made of is on the slippery side. But they allow you to wear whatever gloves you want or are appropriate for the conditions. Plus they pack down to a size that fits in cargo pockets well.

Thanks Buckeye. I tried a similar pair of fabric overgloves but gave up on the slipperyness.

I have those lobsters too.

I find they are great. They are easy to pack and really work. Sure, they can be slippery, but I have never had a "problem" from it. I like them because you don't wind up with gloves that weight 10lbs from taking on water and won't dry out in time for the next day's ride.

My major problem is that they don't make them big enough. I have the "XL" but they won't fit well over my "L" gloves. They are tight.

Exactly what I want to avoid.

May be good for waterproofing, crash protection may be dubious...

I have overmitts too - common in Europe, hard to find in the US. My write-up here
http://supertenere1200.com/2012/03/06/aerostich-waterproof-overmitts/

They ARE slippery in the palm, Aerostitch recommends coating the palms with Aquaseal urethane sealant to provide a grippier surface. I've yet to do it, but sounds like it will work.

I simply went to the dealer and picked up a pair or water proof winter gloves as it pretty much rains down here when in colder month as and I can sweat a little in warmer months as Im most likely sweating already in the rain suit LOL
They are all synthetic as I have not had good long term luck with leather and it smells so bad if it does get wet.
From different forums its pretty much hit and miss even wit the same brands as one person buys a pair and they wear though a monsoon and are fine and the next seems to get soak through with a sprinkle. Stick with name brands and places you can take them back if needed seem to do better

Same paddling outfit, more protection. Not that I really like the hard knucks, but they look up to the task and have received good reviews...at leastfrom the paddlers:

Then again they should for the $$.

Seal Skinz. Too thin for cold weather but great for SFL. No problem with grip.
They are used by Kayakers. Totally waterproof....not like my Tourmaster
Dry.

I used my triple digits for the first time this week and they worked great! The built in swiper came in handy too.

I use something similar - fishing gloves basically. Downside is that they have near zero protection in the case of a crash and don't slide one bit....

Pay the big bucks and get the protection you need. ATGATT. For cold wet weather I use Held Warm and Dry gloves (about $200). Watch the video by Anthony on Revzilla. I rode for an hour this morning in a downpour of wet snow changing to rain. My Held Warm and Dry gloves did the job. They are intended to be used w/ heated grips. My hands measure size 9. I ordered 9 and at first thought they were too tight. I almost exchanged them but a few hours of use and the were still snug but perfect.

I always pay top money for my gloves. I want the armour protection as well as that for wet weather. I use Rukka Gore Tex Xtrafit ... just bought another pair of Argonnauts ... superb. Mind you the other day I did manage to fill one with water ... :

 

[illustratedman]

Rukka apollo, goretex xtrafit, great gloves with a visor wiper built in to the thumb http://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf/?Currency=GBP&Locale=en_GB&ObjectPath=/Shops/10207048/Products/Rukka-Apollo-GORE-TEX-Glove/SubProducts/Rukka-Apollo-GORE-TEX-Glove-0001&ViewAction=ViewProductViaPortal good into autumn in the uk for the cold and wet held lobster claws very warm and waterproof http://www.getgeared.co.uk/HELD_2272_Nordpol_Winter_Motorcycle_Gloves?sc=16&category=146

 

[justbob]

Held Storm gloves, waterproof and very comfortable and for Held brand not too expensive at $79.
For cool wet weather, Alpinestar goretex for about $139.
For cold wet weather, Gerbings G3 with Aerostich triple digit covers.

I use Dainese Clutch D-Dry gloves. http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-clutch-d-dry-gloves

They are reasonably warm. My wife "stole" mine on my ride north. She couldn't keep her fingers warm.

My Icon Pursuit gloves along with grip warms and hardguards are a reasonable choice for warm to chilly, rainy conditions. When it gets cold I use the Daineses. http://www.revzilla.com/product/icon-pursuit-stealth-gloves

In "emergencies" I wear two pairs for latex gloves under my regular gloves. The second pair creates a air gap and makes them much warmer than a single pair. The Icons dry out overnight.

I laughed as I went to the Stealers a while back and asked anout their waterproof gloves. The sales lady asked me why I would need waterproof gloves on a motorcycle :
She had a real pretty hardly outside :-[

MTB and road bike riding taught me a trick - in an emergency dish gloves available at every grocery and hardware store make a great totally waterproof outer glove. Cheap and stylish too!

You may want to look for gloves like that, at a dive shop. Divers wear neoprene gloves to stay warm. Only problem is no armor.. I have used them when I hunted and they worked well.
